Bio
Mai Nguyen Anh is a Vietnamese, part-time visual artist whose work blends observational and poetic documentary elements, inspired by personal significance and social paradoxes. His practices are driven by self-reflections on the world around him, fuelled by the myriad of emotions and musings encountered in everyday existence. He developed his visual language through ongoing experiments with the photographic medium’s foundation, questioning its ability to walk on the edge of reality and fiction.
Nguyen Anh started out and worked as a photojournalist from 2012 to 2015 for AFP and VnExpress. In 2015, he was awarded a scholarship to the International Center of Photography in New York, where he completed the One-Year Creative Practices. His work has appeared in exhibitions, as well as publications such as the Financial Times, Bloomberg, The Guardian, and The Daily Mail, among others.
Nguyen Anh is the recipient of the Open Category award for the inaugural Objectifs Documentary Award in 2018. He co-founded Matca, an online photography community in Vietnam in 2016. Since 2021, Nguyen Anh has been working with the French Institute in Hanoi to organize PhotoHanoi, a biennial event dedicated to providing an official platform for showcasing the photographic works of both Vietnamese and international artists to local audiences.
